Yea, and we saw what happened to Romney. Apparantly Obama is Muslim, technically, because his father was Muslim (according to Muslim law). But he converted to Christianity some 20 years ago?

I would have a some concerns with voting for a devote, practicing Muslim because of the turmoil with terrorism, 9/11, the war, Islamic threats, etc. over the past 5-6 years. Not that I wouldn't vote for one, I'd just scrutinize them very closely. Wouldn't we all?

If Obama was a Muslim, the Democratic Party wouldn't have touched him with a ten foot pole.

Obama's father was not a practicing Muslim. He never lived in a country that was under Sharia law, and neither did Obama. Why do you keep repeating this nonsense? If Muslim law says you are an infidel, does that mean you're an infidel?

Well, of course, I'm an infidel. But Starfish isn't an infidel; she's a believer -- just not a Muslim believer.

First used in Middle English circa 1460 (adjective, noun), from the Middle French infidèle, and from Latin infidelis "unfaithful," later "unbelieving," In the 15c. meaning "a non-Christian" (especially a Saracen); later "one who does not believe in religion" (1526). Also used to translate Arabic kafir, from a root meaning "to disbelieve, to deny," strictly referring to all non-Muslims but virtually synonymous with "Christian"; hence, from a Muslim or Jewish point of view, "a Christian".[5]



it eems everybody is an infidel to everybody else its the only thing we all have in common lol

The only thing that would change my opinion (not that it matters in a political sense, anyway), would be if he had tried to hide his true faith, in order to gain more social and political support.

Barak Obama Senior was a Muslim at one time. I've heard if the father is Muslim, then in Muslim law, the son is also. I never said I considered Barak (the son) to be a Muslim, nor was his father a practicing Muslim. My point was that this could be where the Muslim rumors began.
I said Barak Obama has been Christian for 20-some years. Sheesh.
